that place were pleased 10 meet the veterans,
and would do their best 10 render the visit an
agreeable one. A. Z. Ladd responded in behalf
of the boys in blue" in his usual happy style,
after which "the boys" and their friends
united in having general good time until
o'clock p. m, when the call for battalion drill
and dress parade was made. To witness the
old vets go through the various manuvers re-
minded one forcibly of the late unpleasant

hawk" more than enough TO supply present
necessities. For some reason that W., did not
learn Col. w. T. Hepburn failed 10 put in an
appearance as orator, and Rev. III. O. Pratt, Of
Marshalltown, was secured 10 perform that
duty. His address was in every respect nom
partisan and gave excellent satisfaction If we
may judge by the many complimentary re-
marks made In the afternoon a business meet
ing was held by the comrades at which Gold
field was selected as the place for holding the
Reunion next year on the l4th and 18th of
June. Officers for the ensuing year were

tive Committee, Walter Sawin, w. I. Il. Hum
phrey, Charles Packard, Z. S. Morton and n.
Slakieu. The roster shows that l59 ex-sOidiers
were in attendance, but il is likely there was
nearer l75. as there were quite number who
neglected to register. The Reunion was a sue
cess in every particular and too much credit
cannot be given the hospitable people OF Bel
mond for their efforts 10 render the stay OF
their guests an agreeable one. Previous 10 ad-
